How to Create Cinemagraphs?
Cinemagraphs that were used extensively recently have taken root in visual art and have become one of the most popular ways of presenting digital information. They are a marriage of conventional still photography, but in the contemporary world of videography, it represents an amazing experience, which melts the harsh boundaries between photography and videography.
Different from regular GIFs or movies, Cinemagraphs contain small, repetitive movements in an image where other areas are static. The combination of ‘staticness’ and ‘movement’ creates a feeling of depth with a certain level of immersion, which catches the viewers’ eyes and attention. This particular vision of the tale as well as its distinctive form of visual storytelling, identified as Cinemagraph, have been made quite a powerful tool for the design, marketing, and content creation in different industries.
